Small Brake Pedal

[Type11]

So to start off I will say I have some nerve damage in my right foot which makes my feeling in that foot very poor. Almost a club foot ;-) Anyway I keep slipping off my brake or only hitting a small part of it by touch. I started looking at it and my old e60 brake pedal (did not have this issue) and my friends 550i (also a couple other cars) and noticed it is SMALL. It is like it thought it would have a clutch pedal and then on the dual clutch they didn't do anything to account for it not having it.

Anyone else notice this? Also does anyone know if I can get a f10 brake pedal and install it on the m5 without any real problems?

thanks!

I have noticed the small size of the brake pedal, and also wish it were positioned to the left an inch or two. I like to brake with my left foot on this car, and it always seems too close to my right foot on the accelerator. Since there is no heel and toe with the DCT, I wonder why BMW didn't change the pedal positioning for the DCT cars? I suppose that change might affect the feel for those who do brake with the right foot...

I will say this...I had a problem with this too when I purchased my E92 M3. It took a while getting used to it. However, the first thing I noticed in my new M5 was the fact that the brake pedal was exactly the same as from my M3 which I was used to by now. I could see how it would take some getting used to though since it took me a few months with my E92.

When I had a e46 M3 SMG, I replaced my stock pedal with this item and it was one of the best upgrades I made to that car. Totally facilitated left foot braking. Wonder if we can get someone to engineer the same for our beasts?

Yes brake pedal is a bit small, I wonder why.. E60 M5 SMG and E9x M3 DCT also had small brake pedals. Hasn't bothered me, but it is weird to look at
